How do you find the vehicle identification number on a BMW?

Where should I look for the vehicle identification number on a BMW? I'm trying to get new insurance and I need my VIN, but I don't know where to find it.

Luckily, there are several ways to find your VIN!
Here are the most common places you’ll find your VIN or Vehicle Identification Number:
  • Inside the driver’s front door of your car
  • Near the base of the windshield
  • On the vehicle registration
  • On your insurance documents
  • In your provider’s website with your policy information
Once you’ve collected your information, buying new insurance should be easy! Remember, compare quotes from at least three insurance companies before settling for a provider. Every company has a different algorithm for calculating premiums, so one provider might offer you a much better deal than another.
